That is why I have joined LS1Tech, to get honest to goodness help while listening to experienced individuals who can guide me in the right direction.

Thank you all and wonderful to meet you.

check out the conversions sections. I am sure someone on here has done that same build. If not, that's where the conversion guru's hang out.

From a fellow G-body owner, welcome
I've read of several Monte Carlos that have made the switch to an LS engine. It makes for quite a machine. I'm all 'stock' here so I have no personal info to share. Good luck with it though.

I will be posting pics soon. I too have seen several Monte Carlo LS conversions and am happy I can benefit from the folks who blazed the trail before me!

Have a good one guys.
